Resumen El presente artículo analiza uno de los temas trascendentales que todo país que aspira seguir la senda del desarrollo económico debe enfrentar, este es, el relativo a la seguridad, celeridad y eficiencia que el sistema registral respectivo otorga al tráfico jurídico inmobiliario. En efecto, el actual dinamismo económico exige una libre circulación de la riqueza en todo ámbito; es decir, en lo que atañe a esta investigación, que las operaciones inmobiliarias sean expeditas y que el Derecho Registral Inmobiliario otorgue una adecuada seguridad jurídica a los agentes que intervienen en ellas. En este sentido, la presente investigación tiene por objeto determinar si el sistema registral chileno otorga la debida seguridad jurídica al tráfico inmobiliario en su respectivo registro de propiedad y en la calificación registral. Para cumplir con ese objetivo, se exponen algunas particularidades presentes en nuestro sistema, considerando la normas legales y reglamentarias actualmente vigentes en cuanto al catastro inmobiliario.

Abstract The article analyses one of the transcendental issues that every country that aspires to follow the path of economic development must face, that is, the security, speed, and efficiency that the respective registry system grants to the real estate legal traffic. In fact, the current economic dynamism demands a free circulation of wealth in all areas as far as this research is concerned, that real estate transactions be expeditious and that the Real Estate Registry Law grants an adequate legal security to the agents involved in them. In this sense, the purpose of this research is to determine whether the Chilean registry system provides adequate legal certainty to the real estate traffic in its respective property registry and in the registry qualification. To meet this objective, some particularities present in our system are presented, considering the legal and regulatory norms currently in force regarding the real estate cadaster.

The history of the ora (with the symbol Φ) as a trade instrument is inextricably linked to the history of Orania, a village on the southern bank of the Orange River in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. The closest town to Orania is Hopetown (43 kilometres to the northwest). Orania is about 160 kilometres south of Kimberley, the biggest city in the Northern Cape. Orania has a number of unique features. Firstly, all inhabitants are white and speak Afrikaans, with the implication that this is the language used for all activities (business, education, religion and social interaction). It is therefore viewed as a white Afrikaner cultural enclave. Secondly, the aim of Orania is self-determination as far as its future is concerned. In this context it has been described as a continuation of the Verwoerdian ideal of the 1960s. This aim is supported by "selfwerksaamheid" (loosely meaning "to work with our own for our own"), that is, a policy in terms of which preference is given to the employment of people from Orania. Thirdly, Orania has its own trade instrument, the ora, the symbol for which is Φ.2 The ora is described as a coupon used in settlement of cash transactions. Calling the ora currency would be a contravention of the South African Reserve Bank Act, 1989. The Orania Sakekamer [chamber of commerce] issues the ora. It is linked on a one-to-one basis to the South African rand, that is, at a rate of Φ 1,00 = R1,00. The inhabitants of Orania prefer to use ora when referring to amounts and this paper follows the same convention. Literature on Orania refers to the ora and its use in trade, but there is no research focusing on the development of the ora since it wasfirst launched in 2004. This paper seeks to contribute to filling this gap in the existing literature. The ora serves the needs of the inhabitants of Orania. A population census undertaken in Orania in December 2021 and early in 2022 reported the town'spopulation as 2 377 people, of whom 1 635 were 20 years and older. The same census also showed that Orania comprised 649 households and 220 businesses. Based on the 2021/22 census, the total personal annual income of the residents of Orania in 2021 was estimated at Φ295 672 222. Per capita personal annual income of the 2 377 inhabitants was therefore estimated at Φ124 389. Based on the same census data, the annual household income in Orania was estimated at Φ190 331179. The difference in estimates cannot be explained in terms of the 2021/2022 census data and was previously highlighted as an area for further research. These estimates show some correlation with the survey data obtained from the 2021 business survey conducted in Orania. Business turnover in 2021 was estimated at Φ281 950 000. More research is necessary to ascertain whether the increase in the value of ora issued correlates at all with the growth rate of economic activity in Orania. If this correlation can be determined, ora in circulation will be a useful indicator of the growth of economic activities in Orania. The growth rate of ora coupons cannot be compared with growth in economic activity because the latter has not previously been calculated on a comparable basis. Recently research was published that will contribute to a basis for determining future economic growth. This research shows that the ora contributes to "community building" (a sense that the residents are building their own future) in Orania and limits cash risks in the town. However, the ora also has certain disadvantages for residents of Orania. Holders of ora coupons and dOra must exchange them for rand in Orania for cash transactions outside the town. Any discount that businesses grant on ora transactions reduces their turnover and gross profit. The fact that ora coupons are not machine-readable increases the administration costs of the coupons. The final conclusion is that the ora is inextricably linked to Orania. The town can exist without the ora, but the ora cannot exist without Orania.

Hierdie artikel fokus op die geskiedenis van die ora (Φ3) sedert die eerste vrystelling daarvan 20 jaar gelede in 2004. Die ora is onlosmaaklik verweef met Orania, 'n Afrikaanse dorp in die Noord-Kaap. Die ora is op 'n een-tot-een-grondslag gekoppel aan die Suid-Afrikaanse rand. Die ora sirkuleer as 'n wettige betaalmiddel vir gebruik in kontanttransaksies in Orania. Die bestaan en sirkulasie van die ora is een van die unieke eienskappe van Orania. 'n Verdere unieke eienskap van Orania is die uitsluitlike gebruik van Afrikaans in die dorp. Alle bedrywighede (godsdiensbeoefening, kultuuraktiwiteite, onderrig en saketransak-sies) geskied uitsluitlik in Afrikaans. Voorts het Orania net wit inwoners. Die dorp word dus as 'n wit Afrikaner enklawe beskou. Daarbenewens is die oogmerk van Orania selfbeskikking wat die dorp se toekoms betref. Dit bring Orania in lyn met die voortsetting van die Verwoerdiaanse ideaal van afsonderlike ontwikkeling tot selfbeskikking. Hierdie ideaal word in Orania ondersteun deur "selfwerk-saamheid", met ander woorde 'n beleid dat voorkeur gegee word aan indiensneming van die inwoners van Orania. Die inwoners van Orania verkies om bedrae in ora te noem en nie in rand nie. Gevolglik word daardie praktyk in hierdie artikel gebruik. Gebaseer op die 2021/22-sensusopname in Orania, is totale persoonlike jaarlikse inkomste op Φ295 672 222 beraam. Per capita persoonlike jaarlikse inkomste vir die 2 377 inwoners is dus op Φ124 389 beraam. Hierteenoor is die jaarlikse inkomste van huishoudings in Orania in 2021 op Φ190 331 179 beraam. Hierdie verskil in ramings kan nie met behulp van die bestaande sensusopnamedata verklaar word nie en is tevore aangestip as 'n gebied vir verdere navorsing. Die 2021-besigheidsopname van Orania rapporteer data oor sake-ondernemings in die dorp. Op grond van hierdie opnamedata is die jaarlikse omset van sakeondernemings in Orania in 2021 op Φ281 950 000 beraam. Meer navorsing is nodig om te bepaal of die groei in ora-koepons wat uitgereik word, hoegenaamd korreleer met die groei in ekonomiese bedrywighede in Orania. Die groeikoers van ora-koepons kan nie met groei in ekonomiese bedrywighede vergelyk word nie omdat laasgenoemde nie voorheen op 'n vergelykbare basis bereken is nie. Onlangse navorsing is die eerste inisiatief om 'n basis te skep vir die bepaling van Orania se toekomstige ekonomiese groei. Indien hierdie korrelasie deur toekomstige navorsing bepaal kan word, sal dit 'n nuttige en maklike aanwyser van ekonomiese bedrywighede op die dorp wees. Die navorsing toon ook dat die ora tot gemeenskapsbewussyn bydra, byvoorbeeld omdat die inwoners bedrae in ora uitdruk, eerder as in rand. Die ora verminder ook kontantrisiko in Orania, omdat die ora nie buite die dorp gebruik kan word nie. Die ora het egter ook sekere nadele vir inwoners van Orania. Houers van ora-koepons en dOra moet dit in Orania vir rand inwissel vir kontanttransaksies buite die dorp. Enige afslag wat sake-ondernemings op ora-transaksies toestaan, verminder hul omset en bruto wins. Die feit dat ora-koepons nie masjienleesbaar is nie, verhoog die administrasiekoste van die koepons. Die ora en Orania is onlosmaaklik met mekaar verweef. Die dorp kan egter sonder die ora bestaan, terwyl die ora nie sonder Orania kan bestaan nie.

Abstract: This article aimed to understand how governance structures and the search for value protection influence transaction costs in the relationship between dairy producers and processors in Paraná, Brazil. These aspects are treated by Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and by Measurement Cost Economics (MCE). For data collection, 30 semi-structured interviews were conducted and Content Analysis was used for data treatment and results analysis. For the theory, the study contributed demonstrating that although the alignment between transaction attributes and governance structures contribute for value protection as proposed by TCE, in the absence of complete information, this alignment is still not enough to guarantee economic rights, as predicted by MCE. Empirically, it contributed suggesting the use of formal contracts and the importance of formal information available to milk producers and processors to improve their results in the activity. Thus, considering the governance structures in Paraná’s dairy AGS, it is predicted that even if the hybrid structure is adequate, under TCE view, due to its alignment with transaction attributes, MCE concepts help to explain why agents still need guarantee mechanisms. Those mechanisms, such as long-term relationships, normative instructions and informal agreements, attempt to protect value, given informational problems. Abstract Paraná Brazil (TCE .

Resumo: O objetivo do artigo foi compreender como as estruturas de governança e a busca pela proteção do valor influenciam nos custos de transação na relação entre produtores e processadores de leite no Paraná. Esses aspectos são tratados pela Economia dos Custos de Transação (ECT) e pela Economia dos Custos de Mensuração (ECM). Para a coleta de dados, foram realizadas 30 entrevistas semiestruturadas e os mesmos foram tratados pela Análise de Conteúdo. Para a teoria, o estudo contribuiu demonstrando que, embora o alinhamento entre atributos da transação e estruturas de governança contribuam para a proteção de valor, conforme se espera pela ECT, na ausência de informações completas, esse alinhamento não é suficiente para garantir direitos econômicos, como previsto pela ECM. Empiricamente, o estudo contribuiu sugerindo o uso de contratos formais e a importância da distribuição de informações formalizadas aos produtores e processadores de leite, a fim de que melhorem seus resultados na atividade. Assim, conclui-se que mesmo que a estrutura de governança híbrida seja adequada, devido ao alinhamento com os atributos da transação, os conceitos da ECM explicam porque ainda são necessários mecanismos de garantia (relações de longo prazo, instruções normativas e acordos informais) dados os problemas de informação.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the historical context and current status of the debate surrounding the implementation of a regional currency between Brazil and Argentina. This research was motivated by the proposal to adopt a regional currency for bilateral commercial transactions, which was discussed during the official visit of the current Brazilian leader to Argentina on January 23, 2023. The idea of adopting a regional currency has been under consideration between these two countries for some time and was even discussed within the framework of Mercosur. For this study, the research is based on the analysis of economic indicators, academic texts, and, most importantly, news reports, meeting minutes, and the Mercosur norm itself. This allowed for an understanding of how the proposal has evolved over the years and in what context these changes occurred. This study can be divided into three distinct phases. The first phase focuses on the potential advantages and disadvantages, as well as the impact on transaction costs associated with the adoption of alternative currencies in bilateral trade. It also provides the necessary terminology and conceptual framework. In the second phase, the historical evolution of the proposal to adopt a regional currency is examined, and in the third phase, the current proposal itself is explored.

Resumen: En el ámbito del contrato de compraventa, y específicamente en el contenido de la obligación del vendedor, el enunciado “dar una cosa” (art. 1661 del Código Civil de Uruguay) podría implicar la obligación de entregar la posesión de un bien o la obligación de transferir el dominio, aspecto que ha sido debatido en el ámbito doctrinal. A pesar de que la jurisprudencia y doctrina tradicional limitan el contenido de la obligación del vendedor al deber de entregar la posesión del bien, una revisión conceptual y contextual vinculada con otros contratos nominados del mismo Código Civil, así como con negocios jurídicos de similar contenido que la compraventa creados por leyes especiales posteriores, sumada a la aplicación de reglas de la interpretación lógico sistemática, teleológica y evolutiva, determinan que el vendedor no solo está obligado a entregar la posesión del bien objeto de la compraventa, sino también a transmitir la propiedad.

Abstract: In the context of a purchase and sale contract, specifically concerning the seller's obligations, the phrase "to give a thing" (Article 1661 of the Civil Code of Uruguay) could imply either the obligation to deliver possession of a good or the obligation to transfer ownership. This has been a subject of debate in doctrinal discussions. Although traditional jurisprudence and doctrine have limited the seller's obligation to delivering possession of the good, a conceptual and contextual review-linked with other named contracts in the same Civil Code and with similar legal transactions created by later special laws, combined with the application of logical-systematic, teleological, and evolutionary interpretation rules-determines that the seller is not only obligated to deliver possession of the good being sold but also to transfer ownership.

Resumo: No âmbito do contrato de compra e venda, e especificamente no conteúdo da obrigação do vendedor, a afirmação “dar una cosa” (dar algo; art. 1661 do Código Civil Uruguaio) poderia implicar a obrigação de entregar a posse de um bem ou a obrigação de transferir a propriedade, aspecto que tem sido debatido no campo doutrinário. Embora a jurisprudência e a doutrina tradicional limitem o conteúdo da obrigação do vendedor ao dever de entregar a posse do bem, uma revisão conceitual e contextual vinculada a outros contratos disciplinados no mesmo Código Civil, bem como a negócios jurídicos de conteúdo semelhante à compra e venda criados por leis especiais posteriores, somada à aplicação de regras de interpretação lógica sistemática, teleológica e evolutiva, determinam que o vendedor não só é obrigado a entregar a posse do bem objeto da venda, mas também a transferir a propriedade.

The evolution of technology has changed business practices all over the world. Owing to technological and e-commerce developments, businesses can now transact with each other instantaneously across borders. The digitalisation of commerce and other traditional working methods has created a new "digital age" in human history. Digitalisation has taken over many economic activities and industries and is slowly finding its way into the legal system. Several businesses are now concluding commercial transactions and contracts electronically. Electronic signatures have consequently become essential tools for concluding legal agreements and conducting other daily business and legal practices. These new innovations have brought into question the legal validly of these transactions, and in particular the legitimacy and security of electronically signed documents.

BACKGROUND: The banking sector provides online banking to offer their customers convenient and easy access to banking services. As most banking services are nowadays performed online, alarming fraudulent activities occur daily. The online banking frauds are increasingly and commonly being experienced globally and are damaging to both banks and customers. OBJECTIVES: The goal of the study was to investigate issues in online fraud detection in the banking sector from South Africa and Spain. METHOD: The study followed the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology. Data were collected through the qualitative approach particularly using focus groups and semi-structured interviews. The study followed non-probability sampling since it focussed on a specialised area of online fraud model. In total, the population size consisted of 17 participants, which included fraud technical managers, fraud investigator specialists, fraud technical specialists and data scientists RESULTS: In the South African context, the study established that there is a lack of online fraud experts in the banking sector. The findings reveal that the lack of online fraud expertise may lead to banks having weak detection systems. In the Spanish perspective, the study revealed that there is a lack of law regulation that poses a high risk. CONCLUSION: Given the lack of online fraud experts in the banking sector, banks are urged to acquire and develop online fraud expertise. Online banking technology is developing expeditiously than traditional transactions; therefore, regulations and policies need to be updated regularly to keep up with rapidly evolving technological changes. CONTRIBUTION: Considering the significance of global online banking, the study suggested areas that the banking sector may investigate to develop and enhance online fraud detection models to combat online fraudulent activities.

BACKGROUND: The contact center industry is one of the world's fastest expanding, and it has become a vital basis for businesses communicating with clients, whether through information sharing (inbound) or telesales (outbound). The goal of a contact center is to handle existing and future client queries, product support, and regular transactions OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the article was to examine the effectiveness of ICT in improving service delivery at the public sector contact centre and to determine the non-technical and technical factors that influence the effectiveness of the contact centre service delivery METHODS: This article adopted a quantitative approach, using a survey questionnaire to solicit data from respondents. Convenience sampling method was deemed fit to sample contact centre agents and team leaders and managers in the contact centre of the Department of Home Affairs. Quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS RESULTS: Both the literature review and the empirical results revealed that the role of effective technology in service delivery has a significant influence on the quality-of-service results. The findings support the notion that many service failures are caused by a lack of technology training for employees CONCLUSION AND CONTRIBUTION: It is concluded that the use of technology in the contact centre has significantly altered how employees perform their roles and responsibilities CONTRIBUTION: The study found that training on new technological systems can help with service delivery

Abstract In the 1970s, emerged the hypothesis that problems related to marijuana in Brazil formed different cycles. Later, this hypothesis was associated with the idea of “issue-attention cycle” and made it possible to analyze what we call attention cycles for this plant in Brazilian territory. In this article, we rescue these public problems analysis model, show, in the most synthetic way possible, the history of its application to the investigation of transactions and controversies with marijuana, and we conclude that interests in relation to the subject continue forming different cycles, which are articulated punctually with a view to changing norms. Therefore, the objective of the article is to resume the debate on the attention cycles to marijuana in Brazil, based on a literature review and documentary analysis, from which we demonstrate a recent predominance of medicinal interests, which does not completely suspend other interests on the topic. 1970s s Later issueattention issue cycle territory model show norms Therefore topic

Resumo Nos anos 1970 surgiu a hipótese de que os problemas relacionados à maconha no Brasil formam diferentes ciclos. Mais tarde, esta hipótese foi associada à ideia de “issue-attention cycle” e possibilitou a análise do que denominamos ciclos de atenção a esta planta no território brasileiro. Neste artigo, resgatamos este modelo de análise de problemas públicos, apresentamos, do modo mais sintético possível, a história de sua aplicação para a investigação de transações e controvérsias com maconha e concluímos que os interesses em relação ao tema continuam conformando ciclos diferentes, que se articulam pontualmente com vistas à mudança de normas. Portanto, o objetivo do artigo é retomar o debate dos ciclos de atenção à maconha no Brasil, com base em revisão de literatura e análise documental, a partir do que demonstramos uma recente predominância de interesses medicinais, que não suspende completamente outros interesses sobre o tema. 197 tarde issueattention issue attention cycle brasileiro públicos apresentamos possível normas Portanto documental medicinais 19 1

Abstract The precision agriculture discipline swiftly adopted blockchain as a key technology in numerous applications. From just smart farms to an internet of smart farms in precision farming, the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain is going to boost crop yield in precision agriculture. This proposed methodology presents a comprehensive approach for secure data sharing in precision agriculture. It integrates advanced techniques through multiple layers, including Data Collection, Data Preprocessing, Intelligent Analysis, Security, and Blockchain. IoT sensors collect data on soil moisture, temperature, humidity, crop health, and weather conditions. Preprocessing involves removing outliers, normalizing values, and extracting relevant features, then the required features are selected using the hybrid Sand Cat with Fire Hawk Algorithm (HSCFHA) which is the combination of standard Fire Hawk Optimization (FHO) and Sand Cat Swarm Optimization (SCSO). Deep learning models like Capsule Neural Network (CapsNet), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) networks provide valuable insights for prediction, classification, and anomaly detection. The blockchain layer establishes a decentralized and tamper-resistant ledger for transparent and immutable data transactions. Smart contracts automate and enforce data sharing rules. By incorporating optimized clustering, deep learning models, hybrid encryption, and blockchain technology, this framework empowers precision agriculture while ensuring secure and efficient data sharing with 98.31% of accuracy. applications farming (IoT layers Collection Analysis Security Blockchain moisture temperature humidity health conditions outliers values HSCFHA (HSCFHA FHO (FHO SCSO.

Abstract Inspired by the contributions of New Economic Sociology, the discussion presented here considers markets as complex social processes, integrating economic elements, relational, institutional, and cultural structures. Focusing on the Agreste of Pernambuco Clothing Cluster, this article aims to explore the links between personal relationships and the economy present in productive and commercial transactions in the region. The findings highlight that the system of clothing production and marketing is inherently linked to social and cultural values, such as the importance of family labor and the presence of reciprocal, trusting, and solidarity bonds. Field research reveals that the economic dynamics of the cluster are intertwined with other spheres of social life, since thinking about work in the cluster means thinking about family; and thinking about trade implies considering networks of personal relationships and trust. Sociology processes elements relational institutional structures Cluster region values reciprocal trusting bonds life trust

Resumo Inspirada pelas contribuições da Nova Sociologia Econômica, a discussão trazida aqui considera os mercados como processos sociais complexos, integrando elementos econômicos, estruturas relacionais, institucionais e culturais. Focando no Polo de Confecções do Agreste de Pernambuco, este artigo tem como objetivo explorar os vínculos entre relações pessoais e economia presentes nas transações produtivas e comerciais na região. Os resultados destacam que o sistema de produção e comercialização de roupas está intrinsecamente ligado a valores sociais e culturais, como a importância do trabalho familiar e a presença de laços de reciprocidade, confiança e solidariedade. A pesquisa de campo revela que a dinâmica econômica do polo está entrelaçada com outras esferas da vida social, pois pensar o trabalho no polo significa pensar em família; e pensar comércio implica pensar em redes de relações pessoais e de confiança.

The study investigates the impacts of the cashless policy on churches in Enugu, Nigeria and was carried out between January 2023 and May 2023 when the cashless policy was newly implemented in Nigeria. Through the purposive selection method, the researcher obtained informed consent to analyse the views of 91 informants (church leaders, members and paid workers) drawn from various churches within Enugu. The data obtained from journal articles, online materials and interviews were interpreted using descriptive analysis. The study discovers that the cashless policy affected many churches in terms of low attendance to services, low income and late coming to services. Again, many churches have adjusted to the demands of the policy by providing other means of financial transactions and educating their members on basic information about the cashless policy. It recommends that more members of various churches should co-operate with their church leaders in their efforts to resort to digital means of financial transactions. CONTRIBUTION: The cashless policy affected many churches in terms of low attendance to services, low income and late coming to services. Many church leaders have adjusted to the demands of the policy by providing various means of online financial transactions; however, some members from various churches are yet to embrace the innovation.

PURPOSE: Global merger and acquisition and capital market activity have increased over the last decade. A key determinant of the value of these transactions are the results of corporate valuations, which require technical expertise as well as professional judgement. The purpose of this research is to identify aspects of corporate valuations, for the purposes of mergers and acquisitions, which require professional judgement and to understand why the judgement is necessary. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: We followed a mixed-method approach by gathering data from valuation practitioners using a survey, followed by semi-structured interviews. FINDINGS/RESULTS: We find that professional judgement is required throughout the process, from identifying the most appropriate approach to adjusting theoretical valuation inputs. Industry and market nuances are key reasons for professional judgement as is the perceived lack of appropriate asset pricing models. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The views of practitioners, juxtaposed with academic literature on investment theory, have the potential to contribute to the establishment of best practice in corporate valuations. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Prior academic research has focused largely on the technical aspects of corporate valuations. In this research, we present the first-hand experiences of practitioners whose professional judgements are a key contributor to the valuations that underpin corporate actions in the South African market. This research extends both academic as well as corporate research.

Resumen Este estudio analiza la viabilidad de automatizar el proceso de compra y venta de acciones en la Bolsa de Valores de Ecuador, para democratizar el acceso al mercado, mediante la metodología de minería de datos CRISP-DM. Se parte de un análisis del modelo de negocio de las casas de valores locales y de otros países, que depende principalmente de las comisiones, y sugiere que la automatización podría tener un impacto significativo en el sector. Con el software estadístico R, se construye un modelo de series de tiempo ARIMA para pronosticar las transacciones realizadas en las bolsas de valores. Los resultados muestran una tendencia decreciente en las transacciones y un bajo nivel de liquidez en los emisores.

Abstract This study investigates the feasibility of automating the process of buying and selling stocks on the Ecuadorian Stock Exchange, in order to democratize access to the market using, the CRISP-DM data mining methodology. The study analyzes the business model of local and foreign stockbrokers, which depends mainly on commissions, and suggests that automation could have a significant impact on the sector. Using the statistical software R, an ARIMA time series model is constructed to forecast transactions carried out in stockbrokers. The results show a decreasing trend in transactions and low liquidity levels in issuers.
